Tuya Cover Controller opened/closed inverted

[DickSwart]

The problem

First off, thank you for all the hard work for the new Tuya integration.

My issue is the cover controller of the Tuya integration. It is reporting a state of unknown for all my curtain rails and the open and close serves is inverted.

Service

• cover.close_cover open my curtains
• cover.open_cover close my curtains

All three of the curtain rails are the Zemismart New Design WiFi Curtain Motor Tuya Smart Life Customized Electric Curtains Track with RF Remote Alexa Echo Control

It used to work fine with the original Tuya integration, reported the state and controls were not inverted.

Let me know if there is any more info you need to help problem-solve this?

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2021.11.0

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

2021.9.7

What type of installation are you running?

Hey there @tuya, @zlinoliver, @metisu, @frenck, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (tuya) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks! _{^{(message by CodeOwnersMention)}}

I noticed the same issue with all my covers (blitzwolf SS6). since I updated to Tuya V2 the covers are reverted, so showing down when they are completely open and the reverse. In localtuya it shows just fine (even saying that I'm not able to use the up/down as they are set as position controlled - strange though).

Hello,

Same problem here.

Curtain's states in HA are different from Tuya IoT Platform. For example one curtain is currently fully open (100%) and Tuya IoT Platform returns 100% however HA returns 0%

Same problem here: inverted status on Tuya cover devices.

Same here :-(

Has there been a solution to the problem of reverse treatment?

[rwitlmarkf]

HA slider allows me to set the position to a % that is (100% - the position % in Smart Life). Blind is down/closed = 0% slider in HA & 100% slider in Smart Life. HA Open button is disabled. Close button is enabled but has no effect. Blind is up/open = 100% slider in HA & 0% slider in Smart Life - Blind is open - HA Close button works. Open button in HA is disabled Close button is enabled and works.

Slider in HA sets the position of the blind (incorrectly). Slider in Smart Life is not reflected in HA slider HA Call Service Cover: Open opens the blind HA Call Service Cover: Close closes the blind

using the Tuya IoT portal sending Open/Close with a position will move to the position, sending Open/Close without a position moves to 0%/100%

Same problem here, just installed the Curtains and on HomeAssistant they are all inverted, any workaround i can do for now?

[francecisco]

Hello, I also have the same problem since the beginning. the solution (he work fine for me and you could set up the % of cover opening) is to work around the problem by creating virtual cover in configuration.yaml with file editor or other : you must have somethink like that : then restart home assistant (i don't remeber where i find this solution)

cover:

• platform: template covers: volet_parents_inverse: friendly_name: 'Volet Parents' position_template: "{{ 100 - (state_attr('cover.volet_parents_tuya', 'current_position') | int) }}" open_cover: service: cover.close_cover data: entity_id: cover.volet_parents_tuya close_cover: service: cover.open_cover data: entity_id: cover.volet_parents_tuya stop_cover: service: cover.stop_cover data: entity_id: cover.volet_parents_tuya set_cover_position: service: cover.set_cover_position data_template: entity_id: cover.volet_parents_tuya position: "{{ 100 - position }}"

For anyone having this problem, I solved eveything using the localtuya addon installable via HACS.

https://github.com/rospogrigio/localtuya

I have 5 electric shutter and 4 dimmers.

Electric shutters are working good and flawlessly under localtuya, and most important... they are not inverted!!

The dimmers are configured as "switch" on localtuya, unfortunately localtuya has no configuration for the "dimmable" lights. but If you configure em as switch, you can still turn on/off.

[arnenys89]

Having the same issue. The shutters appear as curtains and are reversed compared to how they appear in Tuya Smart.

👍 issue. my blinds are sub devices so not sure if 'Localtuya' on HACS is an option. Localtuya does not show the sub devices only the hub

Same thing for me. My blinds motor (AM43) connect to a Zigbee hub and then to Tuya IoT. The position of the blinds is inverted in relation to the "Smart Life" app.

Tuya app can connect no problem. HA Tuya can connect but reversed - LocalTuya can only connect to the hub. Reaching out for help to the community . Best regards Splinter911

"NH-ZS 108" still in inverse state

[brijeshsinghparihar]

Still issue remains for SUNFREE honeycomb Tuya shutters. Why there is no option to inverse during setup or later, this issue is open from Nov 4, 2021!!

problem still exist in 2023.11.2 config_entry-tuya-0b1e179775ea978e6ea62b86463a0f55.json.txt

[darthstark1138]

Yeah, this is very annoying. It's the only thing preventing me from automating the natural lighting in my office based on the sun's position.

[KatsuoRyuu]

This is very frustrating, all my curtains are operating in reverse

[DNAngelX]

guys, it's pretty simple to solve this. This is a config from the motor,...

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0601_cover_1.html

Send: { "options":{ "reverse_direction": true } }

And it will work correct

All it does is show the correct status initially. But pressing "Open" or "CLose" still make the curtain go until halfway and then reverse direction (and flip the status).

My thanks to @francecisco.

It's a bit confusing for newbies (such as myself) to sort this out. Specially because there are just too many topics on this without the full detail in how to do it.

So, I've used @francecisco 's suggestion to include my curtains and it worked as a charm.

Step by Step:

1 - You'll need to add the code from the original post https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/59099#issuecomment-1305966088 below into your configuration.yaml file. (I use the Studio Code Server Add-on in HA) 2 - Replace all 'cover.office_shutter_curtain' for whatever is the device in your HA config that you want it to apply in the code below 3 - There was a bit of manual adjusting of spaced for yaml to be happy. 4 - be sure to check in Developer Tools / Check Configuration prior to restart.

Yes, it worked for me too. Here it's the configuration.yaml formatted:
